Talk:Rodney Davis (politician)

POV?
This strikes me as being inflammatory: "Illinois Democratic legislators gerrymandered new congressional maps that eliminated Republican-leaning districts." It does have one reliable source, though. The AP reporter has made the same kind of comment elsewhere. Does one RS justify a partisan phrasing? This is just me, but it doesn't look like an unusual example of gerrymandering: https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/cong_dist/cd113/cd_based/ST17/CD113_IL13.pdf

I grew up in Illinois (went to high school with Rodney, actually) and align, in most respects, with the Democratic party. The map you showed is the 2010 map. When you compare the 2010 map to the 2020 map, you will see why this particular map is referred to as being gerrymandered. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/redistricting-2022-maps/illinois/
